Patient's Query

Hi,

Please let me know the dose and duration for ofloxacin in infants with authentic studies.

Answered by Dr. E. Venkata Ramana

Hi,

Thank you for your query on icliniq.

  • There is no authentic data of studies on the safety of ofloxacin in infants.
  • But the dosage is 15mg/kg/day in two divided doses orally.
  • It is being given in infants below the age of 1 year in routine practice in some selected infections such as urinary tract infections and bacterial gastroenteritis with reasonable safety data.
